Putting this important in right order (to unroll)

This is a highly relevant study from Japan on #Dysautonomia, #gAchR antibodies and #FND! I'll explain why it's important and what it means in clinical terms. 1/ #MedTwitter #NeuroTwitter @Dysautonomia Intl. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

found: Out of 59 patients who qualified for #FND diagnosis#FNDDSMV criteria, 88% had autonomic symptoms!!! 27% were positive for ganglionic acetylcholine receptor antibody (gAchR Ab) via LIPS assay. 50% had #POTS. 50% h#POTSthostatic hypotension. 2/�

portant? Our patients are often misdiagnosed with #FND, and this#FNDdy proves that. When #FND is diagno#FND treatment is psychotherapy & physical therapy, which is not a treatment for #Dysautonomia.#Dysautonomia We MUST identify and treat #Dysautonomia #Dysautonomia

society and DSMV should rethink their diagnostic criteria for #FND if 88% of#FNDir patients have #Dysautonomia.#Dysautonomia #Dysautonomia #Dysautonomia #Auto#FNDnity #Autoimmunityo about it in patients with #Dysautonomia #Dysautonomiariority #research topi#research/4

tients who qualified for FND diagnosis were excluded because of concomitant neuroimmune disorders, like Sjogren's, myasthenia and CIDP... This too is very important because it's 13% of their FND cohort!
